🚨**ONLY ONE TICKET LEFT!**🚨 We can hardly believe it, but our talk at Liznojan Bookshop has basically sold out!!! Thank you so much to everyone who’s booked. We're really looking forward to seeing you.

If anyone is still hoping to come, grab the final ticket now through .

Due to this incredible demand and because it seems to be something people are interested in, we’d love to do a second event. So if you've been unable to get tickets this time and would like to attend a talk, please comment or message and we’ll contact you with the details, including a new time and date.

Also, if you’d like us to run this event (or something similar) for your organisation or group, we’d be very happy to hear from you.

Here it is 😊!

Hayley and Jamie show how art and story can illuminate aspects of autism and provide a visceral understanding of everyday autistic experiences, including loneliness, difference, masking, sensory sensitivity, vulnerability and demand avoidance.

Hayley will also share some of the psychology behind the stories, drawing on research into autistic experience and social understanding. The event offers a unique glimpse into the creative process behind the book and the ideas that shaped it and will allow plenty of time for asking questions and relaxed conversation.

Really looking forward to the 24th and feeling very grateful for all the support! And if you are looking to order a copy of Other Wise Hearts, please help us support our beautiful local independent bookshop and order through  for £9.99

This video is about the pro-immigration, anti-racist thinking behind two of the elements in my ‘Dreamer of Dreams’ mural, in central Exeter, at the end of Gandy Street. InExeter put out a call for submissions from artists to design a mural that would be about Exeter’s ‘cultural identity’, and the unique character of Gandy Street, and my design won the commission. As well as speaking to the specific brief, given the frightening resurgence of racism currently being promulgated in the country I felt an urgent need to include a message of positivity about Britain’s diversity, and took the opportunity to select two artefacts in the nearby to incorporate into the mural that tell that story. Shout out to whose brilliant essay I came across while researching, and who helped to inspire the final design.
